The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 913



Chapter 913

King Qin's five spirits were restless.His mother and grandmother's brother took the lead in corrupting his treasury, and his grandfather's old minister gave his father a cuckold.Cai Guohou was a confidant left behind by his father. Qin Wang specially made him a general of the inner guard and in charge of espionage. He was originally one of his most trusted people.It never occurred to me that even Cai Guohou had something to do with this case.King Qin's heart was completely chilled.But at this moment, King Zhao and Queen Mother Wei suddenly came to Chang'an.Even though King Qin was extremely unhappy, he still had to see him.

Both King Zhao and his mother were dressed as ordinary wealthy businessmen, with a boy carrying a burden by his side.Seeing King Qin enter the door, they all stood up and greeted him.Qin Wang had to force himself to exchange a few words with the two of them.Wei Rongguan was concerned: "What's wrong with King Qin? Why are young people so tired?"

Wei Rongguan's disposition was displayed on his face, he was straightforward and unscrupulous, and the King of Qin felt amiable at first sight.Nai smiled wryly and said, "There are so many things in the country, it's hard to describe them in one word."

Zhao Wangdao: "Is it because your uncle disclosed the casino?" Qin Wang was startled.Zhao Wangdao, "Brother Qin Wang, don't look at me like that. Everyone knows about it. You Ping'an Hou opened a casino, and your two uncles often go to gamble."

King Qin said dejectedly: "It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles."

Zhao Wang sighed softly and said: "Anyway, this uncle of yours is real. How is it better than me? The uncles I knew since childhood were all fake, but they hid my mother. I thought they would help my mother." My family is not my real mother’s family, and they tried their best to make me learn bad things so that I can be their puppet. Last year, they found that I wanted to learn good things, and it was probably difficult to control them in the future. You are better off, your mother and uncle are relatives anyway."

Qin Wang shook his head: "So what about my dear. Brother Zhao Wang, you don't know what my uncle has done."

Zhao Wang smiled and said: "There is no need to guess? Isn't it the same as my uncle's actions? Not only our uncles, but other countries' uncles are different? The brothers of Princess Shu are generally outside under the banner of nephews. Robbing people's property and bullying the market. Fortunately, those few of mine are not real, and I have thrown them all out of Zhao Guo."

King Qin sighed, "I can't. I'm a relative."

Zhao Wang said pitifully: "Poor child, how old are you, and you have to manage the government and guard against uncles and uncles."

King Qin wondered: "Brother Zhao Wang, why doesn't he need to manage the government?"

King Zhao said happily: "I don't need to worry about it! Zhao Guo joined the Chinese Federation, everything is decided by them, and a lot of my money is used anyway. Tell you, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the harder it is. Now I only care about it. Traveling with my mother, traveling all over the country. In the future, I will go to Dongying, Western Ocean, South America, North America and Africa, and travel all over the world! Isn’t it good? Come and show you the photos we took on the road.”

Sui ordered his attendants to take off the burden and untie it, and took out a neat stack of photos.King Qin couldn't help but be curious, so he leaned forward.Zhao Wang's mother and son pointed to him and told him: This is Huangshan Mountain, this is West Lake, this is Qiongzhou Island, this is Shanghai Port of Yue Kingdom, this is Guangzhou Museum, and this is Chengtianfu Starship Research Institute...

Qin Wang Nahan said: "I have also heard about the Starship Research Institute. Some people say that they specialize in all kinds of strange and obscene things, and some people make hidden weapons. What exactly do they do?"

Zhao Wang and Wei Rongguan laughed together and said: "Nonsense words. The things in the research institute are the most useful."

Wei Rongguan said: "Have you ever heard of a gramophone? That was developed by the starship. Schools, governments and research institutes in Dajiala and Chengtianfu have already started to use electric lights, but the power plant has not yet Solve it, we still use oil-burning generators today. It is more convenient, clean and brighter than candle oil lamps."

The King of Qin quickly said: "The electric lamp must be an electric horse lamp?"

"It's the other way around." Zhao Wang rushed to say, "Lighting is a kind of electric light. Dry batteries have not been developed yet, so batteries have to be used, which is extremely troublesome. Dry batteries and batteries were developed almost at the same time, but the technical requirements for dry batteries It’s too high. Once you have dry batteries, electric lanterns will be convenient.”

As he said that, Wei Rongguan had dug out a photo and handed it to King Qin: "Here, this is the night view of the Dajiala government building, and the light coming out of it is the electric light."

Zhao Wangdao: "I can't tell from the photos. If you go to that place to see it, it's as bright as daytime. I'm used to seeing that, but the oil lamp is too dark, and I can hardly walk at night."

King Qin said strangely: "This house is so weird."

Zhao Wang said with a smile: "The whole city of Dajiala has such simple houses. Not only the houses, but also the food and clothing are all simple, and even people walk faster than other places." I can’t bear to leave. It’s really cheap. It’s too cheap. Zhao Guo needs to be built like that, at least ten years.”

King Qin glanced at him a few times: "Brother Zhao Wang, do you really care about Zhao's government?"

Zhao Wang spread his hands and said: "I am neither good at dealing with political affairs, nor like that. The Political Affairs Hall of the capital is more professional than me. Wouldn't it be better to let them manage the government affairs, and I accompany my mother to travel around the mountains and rivers? Everyone has only Twelve hours, only a few decades in a lifetime, passed in the blink of an eye. I do what I love to do, and they do what they love to do. What do I have to lose? It’s nothing more than not being as extravagant as before. It will cost a lot of money to still be that extravagant. I have to do my best to build the Zhao country to be incomparably rich, so that I can have so much money. How difficult! Brother Qin, you are also the lord of a country, you always know."

The King of Qin sighed: "It's not just difficult... I'm helpless. My uncle..." He shook his head and said, "My mother, concubine and grandmother must protect them, and I can't tear them apart and punish them. Veteran, each one is more selfish than the other."

Wei Rongguan said: "It's natural for people to have selfishness, and most of them will make progress. As for the veteran..." She pondered for a moment and said, "Nephew, you used the merchant Liu Feng so much back then, I'm afraid the veteran of your country will be divorced from you."

Qin Wang argued: "Liu Feng also won the Juren! According to his ability, if he goes to the scientific examination, he will pass the examination."

Wei Rongguan shook his head: "It's not because of his status, it's because he copied Taiwan's government policies. How can Qin State and Taiwan's government be the same? Taiwan's government was a deserted island more than ten years ago, with few residents, let alone Nobles. As long as the magistrate Jia Lian and his relatives do not ask for privileges, no one thinks they should have privileges. Qin is different. Whether the emperor's relatives or officials, they are used to being superior to ordinary people. The common people have to serve corvee, and the nobles No need; the nobles pay less than the common people for various tax items. When Liu Feng came, let alone a luxury tax! Naturally, it enriched the treasury, but made luxury goods much more expensive. Those who buy luxury goods are either nobles and officials , or to the rich merchants. This tax item is to steal money from the prince’s uncle and the old minister’s house. Will they be willing?"

The King of Qin said: "Isn't it unreasonable that they have much more money than the common people, but pay less tax than the common people?"

Wei Rongguan smiled and said, "Who is willing to reason with the benefits?"

Zhao Wangdao: "Businessmen may buy luxury goods for bribery. Luxury goods are expensive, and those who originally planned to give two pieces will only give one piece. Originally intending to give both high officials and two officials, only one high official will be given away. The second official is naturally unhappy."

The King of Qin sneered and said: "The bribery is not just to dig money from the lonely king's treasury."

King Zhao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, after Liu Feng left, have your tax bills been changed back?" King Qin was immediately frustrated.King Zhao shrugged, "I knew it. Our country of Zhao doesn't have this trouble. Even my wife can't take advantage of the treasury, let alone her brother."

Qin Wang said: "What if someone bribes her brother?"

Zhao Wangdao: "You can't get any benefits if you pay bribes, and others are not fools. Do you have any supervision in Qin State? Oh, you don't. You use internal guards and censors." Speaking of internal guards, King Qin thought of Cai Guohou's favoritism Accumulating wealth, the fire of ignorance and karma in the belly came up again, and the face was like gold paper.But King Zhao didn't look at his face at all. "It is also extremely difficult to choose an inner guard. The one who is lonely will not be wooed by courtiers, the one who is loyal will not be bribed by other countries, can endure the temptation of beauty, can withstand the temptation of money, and cannot have hobbies to avoid To be used by others, you must be calm or you will be slapped... There are no such people in my country of Zhao. Your country of Qin is not bad, you can find someone."

King Qin said wearily: "That...is not like what you said."

Zhao Wang frowned slightly: "If you can't achieve these, you can't be the leader of the inner guard. Brother Qin, Brother Yu advises you to change someone."

Qin Wang supported his head: "How did I know he would be like this... I don't know if anyone can be trusted." He smiled wryly, "The lonely king, the lonely king. He is really the lonely king."

Wei Rongguan unconsciously looked at him with sympathy: "It's so pitiful. Ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old children don't need to take care of so many things, they just play."

Zhao Wang let out a long breath, and patted his chest: "Mother, I feel more and more sensible! Otherwise, I would be just as annoying as him. No wonder the emperor's life is usually short, and it's just hard work."

Wei Rongguan glared at him: "Shut up! How old you are can't talk." King Zhao stuck out his tongue and giggled twice.King Qin was envious.Wei Rongguan hurriedly said, "Don't mention these bad things, look at the photos!" Then he opened the photos for him to see.

The king of Qin put aside all the government affairs, the uncle of the state, and the fake talent show, and only focused on looking at the photos.Photos are clearer than paintings, and taking pictures takes less effort than painting.Zhao Wang's mother and son walked all the way to take pictures. When Qin Wang saw it, he seemed to follow them all the way, amazed and interesting.Qin Wang had never seen many things in Taiwan, so he asked questions curiously; Zhao Wang answered them one by one.King Qin repeatedly praised and sighed.

And there is a photo of Zhao Wang's mother and son with an armed policeman with a gun. Qin Wang pointed out: "Are they really all the policemen on the road with guns on their backs?"

Zhao Wang said with a smile: "What arrests? There are no arrests in the entire Chinese Federation. They are all called policemen. There are also many types of policemen. This kind is patrol police."

The King of Qin envied: "This spear is really majestic."

Zhao Wang hurriedly took out his small self-defense pistol. Gun: "What do you think of me?"

King Qin exclaimed in surprise, "It's so small!"

Zhao Wangdao: "Although the body of the gun is small, it is powerful. I snatched it from Jia Cong."

King Qin rubbed the spear in his hand for a long time, reluctant to return it.Wei Rongguan said: "If you like it, I will give it to you."

The king of Qin was pleasantly surprised, but also embarrassed: "How can I want my brother's beloved thing." He said so, still holding the gun in his hand.

Zhao Wang said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I will ask him for another one. It's just that this bullet is special, and Hongguji doesn't sell it. It is customized by Jia Cong. Let him send you the bullet in the future."

Qin Wang thought about it: "Brother Wang, can't I go and buy it from Hongguji?"

"No." Zhao Wang said, "This gun and bullets are custom-made, and Red Bones cannot be sold to others. Even if others steal or snatch these guns, they will not be able to buy bullets."

King Qin frowned unconsciously.Half a day later, he smiled wryly and said, "Yes, brother Zhao Wang has formed an alliance with Yan."

Zhao Wangdao: "I don't care about the government, so no one can take advantage of my cover. Even if I have an uncle, I can't get it. Anyway, I am not short of anything."

The King of Qin sighed: "My uncle and uncle are not short of anything, why did they do those things?"

King Zhao stopped him from asking, and said after a long while: "...Yes! Their life should be better now than before, why are they not satisfied? It's really not enough to swallow an elephant."

Wei Rongguan said: "The reason is simple. Because it is more pleasant to be generous with others and to give others power than to give oneself. Qin is not theirs, but your nephew. If you take advantage of your name, you will It’s like picking up those gold and silver, it’s more comfortable than you rewarding them. And who dislikes more money? Even if the luxury tax is high, aren’t there so many luxury goods to buy? They naturally want to buy more, more Enjoy."

King Zhao looked at King Qin a few times and said, "My brother, you are quite simple, but you can't stop others from using your money to spend extravagantly." The words aroused the anger of King Qin's leader, and he smashed the desk with a "slap".Zhao Wang also added fuel to the fire, "It's a pity that you have such a good vision. It took Liu Feng a few years to fill the treasury. How much is left after letting relatives and veterans scrape it? Is it enough to marry a wife?" After hearing about the fake draft, King Qin's face became even more ugly. "Why don't you marry a rich concubine. There are many rich officials in Qin State."

Hearing the sound of "Boom", King Qin kicked the pedal in front of him flying away.King Zhao was taken aback: "Brother, you have such strong feet!"

King Qin gritted his teeth and said, "The lonely king will never spare them!"

Wei Rongguan hurriedly said: "Be careful, don't let people chew your tongue."

Zhao Wang repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Don't listen to my mother and concubine. You are a prince, and you deal with criminal courtiers, why do you care about your tongue? If you have so many scruples, you can't do anything."

Wei Rongguan said: "How can his mother and grandmother be careless?"

"Uh...this..."

Qin Wang suddenly felt tired and immediately covered his head, the anger just now was completely wiped out, his body relaxed, and he slumped over his desk.Wei Rongguan sighed softly, stepped forward and rubbed his neck for a while, and murmured: "This child, I'm so pitiful. I'm sorry for you." The King of Qin didn't realize that his face was covered with tears.

After a long time, King Qin choked with sobs and said, "I don't know what to do. My inner guard general, in order to protect one of his subordinates, just poisoned and killed a very important witness in the prefect's yamen."

Zhao Wang's mother and son looked at each other.Zhao Wang said quickly: "You, General of the Internal Guard, don't be a fool! Why don't you give up that kind of subordinate?"

Qin Wang was silent for a moment, then sat up straight suddenly: "Brother Zhao Wang, what did you say?"

Zhao Wangdao: "I said, why didn't he abandon his pawns to keep his commander in chief? So that he can get rid of himself." King Qin clenched his fists thoughtfully.
